TIL 4 WHISKY TAX.

The Democratic pap ers and Mr. Powell
have seen fit to state that the Republi-
,sans Of Ohio are in favor Of removing the
internal rvenue taxes On whisky. The
Republicans Of Ohio have never declared
IN favor Of anything Of the kind, and as
matter Of fact are not in favor of it.
The Republican platform is. however, the
best source for information On Re
publican principles this year 1t has
in it not one word in favor OF reduc
ing or abolishing the in'ernal revenue tax
on whisky or other liquors. Its only
mention OF any internal revenue tax re
fers to that on American grown tobacco.
The principal regarding this, as an
nounced in the Republican platform. is
that after liberal pensions are paid and
needed public improvements provided. if
there are still surplus revenues they
should be reduced by reducing the orig
inal tax on American grown tobacco.
The Democrats are anxious to get rid of
the protective tariff, and are ready to op-
To prevent them from committing hari-
kari on American industries and Ameri-
can labor 1t is of course very easy for
Democratic newspapers to declare that
the Republicans are in favor of this thing
aud the other thing, and then to show
that it should not be done In declaring
that the Republican policy is to remove
the internal revenue tax on whisky, they
make the declaration simply for the pur-
pose of declaring sor'ething to oppose,
while no Republican had dreamed or
thought of adopting any such policy for
the Republican party.

. high degre. of consistency in favoriny
a National tax on liquor, while he is just
as earnest in declarin his opposition To

Al, what celestial art
And can sweet thoughts become pure tone ~

All music, into the tranced mind and heart
Her hand scarce stirs the singing, wiry metal
Hear from the wild rose fall each perfect petal!
And can We have. on earth, Of heaven the whole,
Heard thoughts - the soul of inexpressibls

Roses of sound,
That strew m.lcdious leaves ur'oa the silent

And msisi' that is music's very soul,
Without one touch of earth
Too tender. even, for sorrow; too bright for
mirth. R W. Glider.

NICHOLAS ALLEN.
Unfortunate Career of the Discoverer O
Anthracite Coal in Pennsylvania.

Unfortunate Career of the Discoverer of
Anthracite Coal in Pennsylvania.
Anthracite was discovered in Penn
sylvania in 1890, by Nicholas Allen
This Allen, according to the stories and
traditions that have been handed down
about him must have been a kind o..
American Rip Van Wrinkle. He had
come down from the Lake Champlain
lumber region and opened an inn on the
summit of the Broad Mountain. For a
time he led Il wandering existence, hunt
ing, fishing and numbering, while his
wife attended to the wants of thirsty
travellers. In one of his hunting excur-
I~sions he camped out at the foot of the
Broad Mountain, at a spot where a coal
vein cropped out, and, upon lighting a
| fire, was astonished at theNintense heat
it threw off. He also saw that
some of the black stone had be-
come red hot. He dug some of it,,
and carried it home, where his wife.
more practical than himself, pronounced
it coal. They saw the coal crop in
abundance, and visions of fortunes that
might be realized out of it flashed
through their minds simultaneously.
So, disposing of their effects, they loaded
two large covered wagons with the coal,
and set our for Philadelphia, with the
intention Of marketing it there and dis
covering its true value They drove
along the banks of the Schuylkill sleep
ing in the open air at night At Potts
town three of their horses died, and the
coal was dumped into the river. Wearied
ana dlsheartened, the pair returned to
the old place at the summit of the noun
tam, and shortly afteward Allen laid his
faithful wife to rest over the coal vein
that proved their ruin, and turned his
face toward the West, where, after an
uneventful career, he enlisted for the
campaign under HarriSo~ and fell at
Eippecanoe. Scientific A13aric1n

American newspaper methods. He
SAYS that in Toxic, japan, which is the
center Of the wealth aud culture of the
country. there are over twenty daily
newspapers. Most of these are OF four
pages, though some are of eight. The
Conservative Liberal and Radical par
Ties have each their orglas, and several
papers are also published in the inter-
est of the Christians, towards whom
the Liberals incline. There are also
military, banking and agricultural pa
pers. The papers do not circulate in
rokio alone, whose population is over
1000. 600. but go all over the rural dis
,ricts, where some weekly papers and n
lew dailies are printed. OF the Toxic
papers six are published in English, of
which four of the editors are Japanese,

AN ARTIFICIAL SEA.


french Omcer.
Sir F. de Lesseps has lately COM
municatcd to the Institution of Civil
Engineers an interesting account of a
curious work carried out in Tunis by
Colonel Roudaire. This gentleman ap-
pears to have spent many years in
Tunis leveling, boring and making ex-
periments of various kinds, and has
come to the conclusion that four de-
pressions, or "shotts," as he terms
them, which he names Tedied, Dierid.
Rharsa and Melrir, and are situated
seventy-seven feet six inches below the
sea level, could by mears of canal be
readily formed into large inland sea
or lake, which would have the effect of
influencing for good the climate and
fertility of the surrounding country to
a considerable degree.
This lake is stated to be 3, l64 souare
miles in extent. In order to prepare
for the vast expense with such an MI
dertaking must involve, the Colonel
proposes to sink artesian wells, for the
purpose of cultivating the country; and
the rent paid for the water thus OBJ,
tanned might be applied, the whole OF
in part. towards the construction of the
proposed canal, In 1855 the first well
was sunk to the depth of 295 feet, when
water was found flowing ut an ayerooe
of l,760 gallons per minute the first
year, which has now increased to 10
800 gallons per minute Sir +. dc Les.
seps says:
The banks of the River Me,ob
which fifteen months ago were deserts
are now populated, and very shortly
the canal is to be commenced, so tba,
the civilization of the French fric,,
possessions must come from below
That Is to say, must of necessity depenf
for water supply on wells only. y

GIVING AND TAKING.
Some Pertinent Remarks a Subject of
Great Importance.


In many case. it is doing more for
a person to receive gift or service
from him. than to give gift or to
render Il service TO him. just because
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive, we have no right to BIO always
taking that blessing to ourselves; but
we should permit others to gain their
share of it. A child is helped by being
privileged to give gift to his parents,
or to render service to some one
whom he loves and honors. A scholar
is worth more in class. through con-
tributing to the stock Of its common
knowledge; and the class is worth
more to him in consequence. Mind
and character are develo ped through
their exercises. and are gamers
through their outlay; hence. in every
sphere of life there Is an attainment
which is possible only through self
denial and self-expenditure Our duty
toward others involves looking at
their needs in more directions than
one; and in order to the meeting of
their need OF this aid to their highest
development of mind and character,
we must often permit them to be
givers and doors, when we should re-
ally find more personal enjoyment in
comforting fLvors than in receiving
them.-S. S. Times.
